The Too Much Song is the 19th and final track on Dinosaurchestra.
Lyrically, it is a straightforward love song, similar in content to Between You and Me.
Neil explained the writing process of this song in the album's text commentary:
"I'm surprised to find that drawing from actual emotional experience tends to produce less imaginative lyrics than just pulling random crap out of my head. I guess maybe that says something about emotionalishness. It says 'Been there, done that.' But some songs ask to be written so politely, with puppy eyes, and it's impossible to say no. This is one of those songs. I hope it's catchy enough to make up for the whininess, at least."[1]
Lyrics
I can't stop. I can't stop. You're too much. Much too much. I can't stop… …being in love… I can't stop. …with you. You're too much. (Too much.) Much too much. (Too much.) I can't stop… …myself from… (Being in love.) …falling again… I can't stop. …and when I'm… …with you… …I find no reason to. You're too much… …or am I not enough? You're… (Too much.) …and I feel this way. Much too much. The longer that I wait the more you are… (Too much.) …much to my dismay. I can't stop. I can't stop. You're too much. Much too much. I can't stop… …having this dream. I can't stop. Can you? You're too much. (Too much.) Much too much. (Too much.) I can't stop… …the boat, I'm… (Having this dream.) …floating along. I can't stop. I can't canoe. Can you? Canoe? Oh, kangaroo. You're too much… …or am I not enough? You're… (Too much.) …and I feel this way. Much too much. The longer that I wait the more you are… (Too much.) …much to my dismay. You're too much… …or am I not enough? You're… (Too much.) …and I feel this way. Much too much. The longer that I wait the more you are… (Too much.) …much too far away. (Too much.) (Too much.) (Too much.)
